Can You Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits for Chronic Pulmonary Insufficiency? Yes! Use SSA Listing 3.02

Breathing is something that pretty much all of us take for granted. But for people who suffer from chronic pulmonary insufficiency, taking breath for granted isn’t an option. When you suffer from this type of condition, every breath can be a strain, and you often find yourself wheezing even after only a minor amount of physical exertion.

Everyday tasks can require extreme effort, and trying to work a normal eight-hour day and 40-hour work week just isn’t possible. The SSA realizes this and has included chronic pulmonary insufficiency in their Listing of Impairments. This compendium has definitions for every recognized disorder, as well as descriptions of criteria that you need to meet for each one. If you can meet these criteria, you automatically qualify to receive benefits.

Is your hearing loss currently being treated with cochlear implantation? Try SSA Listing 2.11 to win Social Security disability benefits.

It’s pretty normal to lose some of your hearing as you get older, so most of us don’t even give hearing loss a whole lot of thought. And if we do, we assume it’s something that can be pretty easily solved by getting a hearing aid.

Unfortunately, whether you’re losing your hearing due to aging or something else entirely, sometimes hearing aids – or cochlear implantation – can’t provide enough help. Even with a good one, you are often unable to hear well enough to communicate effectively with others, and this could hurt your ability to get and keep a job.

Yes! Try SSA Listing 2.10 – Hearing Loss Not Treated with Cochlear Implantation

When you can’t hear, you can’t communicate as effectively. This makes it harder to do many everyday tasks, and it can make finding and keeping a job where you have to work with others monumentally difficult. Because of this, if you have significant trouble hearing for any reason and you don’t have a cochlear implant – or hearing aid – it is possible to qualify for disability benefits through Social Security.

The SSA has two methods by which you can get benefits. The first one is to use their Listing of Impairments. This is a comprehensive guide to the various medical issues that the Social Security Administration recognizes as disabling conditions, complete with definitions and specific criteria to meet for each one.
